Leg #1 - 13:50, Goodwood: Seven Question to Finish Top 3 @ 4/91.44
Seven Questions was given an outstanding ride to land a course handicap over 5f by the narrowest of margins last month. Jamie Spencer gave the son of Kodiac a classic hold-up performance, which suited well, as the selection motored home to win going away. A 3lb rise appears lenient, and he ought to relish stepping up to 6f as a dual scorer at that trip.
Leg #2 - 15:27, Navan: Hotazhell to Finish Top 3 @ 1/41.25
Hotazhell is by far the standout performer in this Listed event over 1m1f. The Group One-winning colt is top-rated and despite giving weight away to his rivals, must hold outstanding claims on seasonal debut. After contesting the G1 Arc De Triomphe to close last season, he should appreciate this major drop in class and have too much class for his opposition. As this is an accumulator wager, having him to finish in the top two placings may be a wise move, just in case he is nabbed close home on his first run of the year.
Leg #3 - 16:52, Punchestown: Jackmoon to Finish Top 4 @ 8/131.61
In what appears an extremely modest staying handicap hurdle, the consistent Jackmoon offers strong place potential. The unexposed (in handicap company) Spanish Moon gelding was sent off favourite for a three-mile Wexford race last time, performing with credit, on a first handicap outing, to finish third. The tight track may have hindered him slightly, and he ought to appreciate returning to a galloping venue.
Leg #4 - 17:20, Goodwood: Blue Prince to Finish Top 3 @ 2/51.40
Blue Prince bounced back to form with a good third in a Kempton all-weather handicap on seasonal bow. The Blue Point gelding may improve for that outing, and if he does, a mark of 79 can be exploited, he is now 10lb below his last winning rating. He is also a course-and-distance scorer, which bolsters his leading claims.
